Abstract

While Lean Manufacturing and the Toyota Production System is a proven methodology for waste elimination and productivity improvement, its true potential has not been exploited by many industries in India. There are reasons for this, most prominent among which is the lack of in-depth implementation know-how among Indian industries. That is about to change; SSA Business Solutions, with its in-depth understanding of Lean manufacturing is revolutionising the way Lean techniques are adopted and implemented by Indian industries. Project-Agility 500 at Star Engineering Ltd (name changed) is one such example that showcases the power of Lean manufacturing and its tremendous potential for achieving breakthrough productivity improvement for Indian industries.
